In short

EAD 160088-00-0102 is the EOTA European Assessment Document for rock and soil nail kits - hollow bars. Amstelfy Technical Solutions tests self-drilling hollow bar nail kits against this EAD in its ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory in Amstelveen (NAC-037-TL): tensile capacity of bar, couplers and nuts, corrosion protection and bond with grout. The test reports follow the EAD clause structure so a Technical Assessment Body can use them directly for the European Technical Assessment; Amstelfy does not issue ETAs itself. Within its ISO/IEC 17065 scope (NAC-026-PPS) Amstelfy can also act as the product certification body for this product family.

Route to market

Products covered by an EAD are placed on the EU market with a European Technical Assessment issued by a Technical Assessment Body (TAB), followed by the AVCP tasks of a Notified Body and the manufacturer's Declaration of Performance and CE marking. Amstelfy performs the assessment tests, prepares the test reports in the EAD's clause structure and coordinates the test plan with the TAB; Amstelfy does not issue ETAs.
